Phantom by Terry Goodkind
5.0
OHHHHH MY GOD, WHAT. WHY. WHO WOULD BE SO CRUEL SO AS TO END THIS BOOK SO SUDDENLY. URGGGGGG.
Jeez. And I thought the previous book was powerful. This series is one of the few which are able to trigger my emotions, as the reader, on a whim and without warning. There were a number of times when an action, or a remark by a character, would immediately make me laugh or just yell out in anger.
Goodkind's writing is incredible. This series is incredibly complex. Worse - it gets better with every book. No book in this series can be read without the others - sure, Goodkind writes in a way where he reminds the reader about past events, but the more detail he adds, the more reason there is for such reminders to be included.
Richard and Kahlan are absolutely two of the most detailed characters I have ever understood, and the people that surround them just as fascinating. It's impossible to simply 'stop' in this series - the twists and turns will not want you to let go. This book especially. Oh I can barely wait to move on to the next book, but at the same time I don't want it to end any time soon.
These aren't just characters in a story. They are people who I will never forget.
